First trailer lands for Spike Lee's Oldboy remake

It's a very red band trailer, as the first full promo for the remake of Oldboy, starring Josh Brolin, has landed...

Later this year, we get to find out if director Spike Lee has taken on a poisoned chalice, or managed to remake a brilliant and brutal film successfully, with enough of an individual stamp on it. We're talking about the American remake of Oldboy, with Josh Brolin in the lead role this time around.

A first trailer for the film has now appeared, giving us a good flavour of what's to come. Please be warned that this is a very red band trailer, so no watching this if you're young and impressionable or anything. If - like us - you're neither of those things, then help yourself to this...
